This just in ... Montreal, Friday March13, 2020. In heat of the toilet paper shortages world wide, and people literally rioting in the isles of their local grocery stores as the pressure to stock-up mounts, one noted Montreal local author made a short comment that has changed the situation entirely.
First posted on his FaceBook site, his post quickly gained ground and went VIRAL! Before it could be shut down his page on amazon began to be swamped by orders. Clicking on the link supplied I myself had a difficult time obtaining my 10 copies of the article in question.
Yes that's right it did all make sense and as this reporter sits comfortably awaiting a drone to deliver his order I have reached the author for further comment.
So Gern f. Vlchek, is it true that your solution to solve the toilet paper crisis has virtually broken the internet? "Well Steve, maybe I have 'figuratively' broken a very small part of say one amazon page."
Well let's get to the bottom of all of this hype? "Actually Jimmy, I just made a funny little remark of my fBook page this afternoon mentioning that if people ran out of toilet paper and weren't able to get anything else that maybe - and that would be say after reading it - they could use my book, 'Turn Right, Turn Left Repeat... Life on the road for the Canadian Indy Band" as replacement."
Well what happened then? "Well Jimmy, an unprecedented amount of people rushed my book's amazon page and things got a little out of hand".
When you say unprecedented are we talking 10's of thousands or are we in the millions here? "Actually Jimmy James, I think not counting you there might have been 4 people, and one of them was actually just trying to leave a favourable comment about how riveting my book was to read".
So, but you said it was an unprecedented amount of people? "Well yah, although I am a noted local author, post-folk indy music practitioner, as well as a very old bartender, I am actually an indy writer and well 4 people at once trying to look me up is well by definition, 'unprecedented." Add to this the fact that me writing about the Canadian music industry, which this week kind of closed, would make my book ... well historic now."
So Mr. Vlchek it is your idea that people every where should buy your book and then - after reading it - wipe their butts with it? "Well yes, but really I don't see it coming to that. After all I am writing about Canada and culture so I don't really see folks actually getting around to buying it, reading it or in any other way consuming culturally relevant material in any great way really, but hey, if thats what they need to do then hell, go ahead. Actually I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say giver."
Ok then Gern, is there anything else you would like to say in closing? "Well yah sure, uh.. how bout lets try and be nice to each other out there, this is a crazy time and maybe lets try and tone things down a bit and maybe stop freaking out, say, so much. And buy my book and now more than ever consume as much local, and Canadian culture as possible. Canadian culture can really use your help. Possible more than you need toilet paper."
